Aspect Tamar Valley Resort, Grindelwald

The staff here are incredibly nice, and we received a complimentary upgrade to a sea view space to celebrate our jubilee, complete with chocolates and sparkling wine.

Aspect Tamar Valley is situated in the heart of the city and offers a variety of activities and amenities. You can enjoy staying here while playing tennis or badminton, and take advantage of the beautiful gardens, golf facilities, and boating opportunities. There are also excellent cafes and a souvenir shop. The hotel provides great value and many highlights to enjoy.

My accommodation was a villa in the 500 group down the bottom. Please don't let the name confuse you, these really are just basic cabins. The cabins circulate a grass oval but some are lakesideInside, something akin to a caravan, the door opens to a double bed, bathroom to the side, sofa opposite a kitchenette and a second room containing another double bed with space for a lounge chair and small closet.Windows along this bedroom consist of along the wall and sliding door to a Juliette balcony shared by the kitchenette/sofa, which also has sliding door access.Kitchenette has microwave (not necessarily on all cabins), kettle, toaster. A phone for ordering from service or making any on site inquiries/bookings. Crockery for 4 is clean and just what you need for no fuss catering.There is a barbeque on site, basketball court, tennis court, paddle boats and kayaks on the lake for 30 min hire. Also swimming, mini golf, golf and buggy hire. Don't forget Tamarhorn which is a steep corkscrew hill with amazing views.The swiss chalets are really where the family or group abomination sings. It's been many years since I've stayed in them though so I won't mention them more other than to say they are pretty to look at and are all named. There is also hotel room accommodation with more generous size beds, (I was told king).If you do stay here make sure you take a slow drive around Alpine Crescent and visit Grindelwald chapel and walk the lake.

Great place, but avoid the breakfast. beautiful view of the rabbits on the golf course from the deck. the children loved the pillow, paddle boats and pool. but eggs were cold and service not available at breakfast. hotelhighlights child-friendly. more

Don’t waste your time on the golf course. $20 green fees only for the course to be overgrown and unmaintained. Greens are like putting on gravel and with rabbit holes throughout the fairway, bring plenty of balls. Could do with a greenskeeper.
